...Administration's steely Latin policy has primarily been the doing of Clark and Kirkpatrick. Now the clout of both is diminished. No liberal conspiracy has subverted President Reagan, but the Administration's moderates have indeed moved toward control of foreign policymaking. True, Weinberger, an unswerving hawk and Reagan intimate, remains feisty and powerful. But Clark will not be lumbering into the Oval Office every day, instinctively pushing Cap's and Kirkpatrick's schemes. The flow of ideas into the White House under McFarlane, a cool technocrat, will surely be more orderly, and perhaps more balanced...
...Japanese people they agreed with the government's desire increase defense spending Eight percent went no for as to say they would refine to fight if Japanese were to be invaded. Now, after the tragedy, Prime Minister Nakasons of Japan continue to battle an image of himself or a "hawk" the worst possible label to incur in Japanese polities.

A consistent Western policy of economic exchange, decreased...
Newer and lesser-known names are rising to prominence. One is Fred Iklé, 58, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, a scholarly, low-voiced, pinstripe hawk who favors putting maximum pressure on the Sandinista regime. He has the ear of Weinberger, who according to Pentagon colleagues has been too preoccupied with budget matters and congressional relations to devote much personal attention to Central America. The Secretary is believed to allow Iklé and Deputy Assistant Secretary Nestor Sanchez to shape the Pentagon position that Weinberger presents at interagency meetings...
